OK, I'm home from the Aussie Pro!!!

[Rusty Jeffers]

I got home last week, but I haven't been online in a month now!!! I didn't get any decent photos of our own so I'm waiting for some good ones from a few photogs and I'll post those and give you my opinions and such when I do. I thought I looked pretty darn good compared to recent showings, but getting striations on I disagree just isn't what I got into bodybuilding for,nor is it something I think is all that great...don't get me wrong, it's impressive to see, but I'd rather see someone that's complete and full, than next to death dehydrated. That look for me is just not in the cards no matter what I do, but I think what I did bring to the stage was pretty decent, but I'm not 6' and 300lbs, nothing I do is gonna get me there, nor do I care for the feeling of being even 260!!! I honestly can say I don't think I deserved 7th, nor did Lee, we thought I should have been 4th or 5th. Too bad because since the top 3 were already qualified for the Olympia, they were extending an Olympia qualifier to 4th place. One day......

I have to thank Lee Priest for putting up with me the last 2 weeks before the show, his arm was in a sling from his surgery so he couldn't do the show but helped me out a hell of a lot. Francy got to come to the show and we stayed with them 1 more week after the show when he and his wife took Francy and I all over Australia sightseeing and fishing, which was REALLY cool....I'll download those photos tonight for those who would like to see those!

Learned lots of cool phrases like g'day mate were the norm and not something just from Crocodile Dundee and that Australia is somewhere I would move to in 2 seconds..the people, the attitude, the landscaping,,,just unreal. Makes me think I live in a bad place.....and I don't!!!! It's just an undiscovered treasure for Americans and I understand why they don't want us there too!!!

I'll post pics later..gotta go!

Rusty,

Mass Freaks and striations freaks are opposite, but equally ugly, symptoms to the same illness that is ruining professional bodybuilding. If I want to see swollen athletes then I'll watch sumo wrestling; if I want to see something scary and covered with veins then I'll stare at my....well, you get the picture.

You sound a little discouraged and that's understandable; extreme mass or extreme cuts are gonna be the death of bodybuilding...they all ready been the death of some bodybuilders. I've seen some online photos of you in Australia; I thought you looked right: good shoulders, good legs...and I thought your waist looked even smaller than in recent competitions. I thought you looked great. You're sticking to your vision of what makes up a great bodybuilder: no freaky bloat/no freaky cuts, quality, balanced, asthetic mass. You've stayed true to your vision...unfortunately judges don't consider focus/common sense, vision and the thought and subsequent action it takes to create a balanced physique when awarding placing.

I'm glad Francy got to go over; I hope you two built up a lot of happy memories to share later on in your lives together.

Keep on keeping on Rusty with what you're doing...the judges may not understand it but there are folks who appreciate it.

Later,

TonyB

Great pictures! I'd like to see some from the gym! The one where you're in the city with Lee and his wife, it looks like that building just about to fall over haha. You guys make a good team, it's too bad about his injury. I hope he'll get back up soon.
